Dear Monsignor Sheehy,
Many thanks for your help and advice in regard
to the setting up of a Board of Governors for St.
Joseph's Nursing Home, Raheny.
The material you lent me is interesting and very
helpful. I will return it later. Please pardon the
delay in acknowledging it.
I intend to return to Raheny towards the end of
July when I hope we can find some suitable people to
form the nucleus of s Governing Body. Since our tele-
phone conversation, I have been given the names of
one or two people who may be eligible for membership
of this board.
With renewed gratitude for all your help.
Sincerely in Christ,
Sister Mary Peter
